Fwd: [InternetTC] Call for Papers: ACM MiSeNet 2012 - In Conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2012

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] Call for Papers: ACM MiSeNet 2012 - In Conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2012 Datum: Fri, 20 Apr 2012 20:45:51 -0400 Von: Habib M. Ammari <hammari(a)UMD.UMICH.EDU> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG * The First ACM Annual International Workshop on Mission-Oriented* * Wireless Sensor Networking (ACM MiSeNet 2012)* In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2012 Istanbul, Turkey, August 22-26, 2012 http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~hammari/MiSeNet_Workshop2012.html Call for Papers Scope and Aim of ACM MiSeNet 2012 Mission-oriented sensor networks are next-generation time-varying systems composed of both humans and mobile sensors (e.g., vehicle-mounted, human-operated, or integrated with mobile robots or UAVs) that collaborate and coordinate to successfully accomplish complex real-time missions under uncertainty. A major challenge in the design of mission-oriented sensor networks arises in supporting dynamic topology and disruption-tolerant architecture, caused by mobility, which has significant impact on performance in terms of sensing coverage, network connectivity, and information quality. In such dynamic environments, sensors should self-organize and reason in a distributed manner about resource allocation, scheduling, forwarding, caching, and in-network storage to accomplish specific missions, while extending the operational network lifetime. Another major challenge lies in accommodating human input. Humans are the ultimate sensors. They are well-equipped to monitor and report situations that would be very difficult for machine sensors to understand. They also come with their own challenges including imperfect reliability, bias, and relative lack of predictability (compared to well-calibrated sensors). The design of mission-oriented sensor networks, where humans and sensors collaborate, should account for trade-offs between several attributes such energy consumption (due to mobility, sensing, and communication), reliability, fault-tolerance, data collection latency, and quality of information (such as video resolution, picture quality, type of content, degree of redundancy, and level of summarization), and their impact on mission objectives. It should accommodate human-centric sensing modalities such as free-form text, pictures, sound, and video, and should include mechanisms to handle unpredictability, uncertainty, human error, and noise. ACM MiSeNet 2012 aims to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented sensor network research and practice. ACM MiSeNet 2012 serves as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in this area. ACM MiSeNet 2012 will provide them with opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges as well as exchange and discuss scientific and engineering ideas related to architecture, protocols, algorithms, and application design, at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. ACM MiSeNet 2012 seeks papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented networked sensing applications. The topics of interest to ACM MiSeNet 2012 workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: * Theoretical foundations of mission-oriented networked sensing * Modeling and analysis of mission-oriented sensor networks * System design, implementation, and evaluation * Medium access control and scheduling * Human factors, data cleaning, and noise * Human-centric sensing modalities and quality of information * Cross-layer design * Software architectures for mission-oriented sensing * Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency * Coverage and connectivity issues * Collaboration of humans and sensors * Deployment and localization * Uncertainty, opportunistic communication, and data fusion * Topology control and fault-tolerance * Routing and data dissemination * In-network data storage and processing * Sensor database management and spatio-temporal data * Target detection and tracking * Privacy and security * Testbed design and real-world applications *General Chair* * Tarek Abdelzaher (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA) *Program Chair* * Habib M.

Cloud Networking has emerged as a promising direction for cost-efficient and reliable service delivery across data communication networks. The dynamic location of service facilities and the virtualization of hardware and software elements are stressing the communication network and protocols, especially when data-centers are interconnected through the Internet.

CFP: Workshop on Human-Computer Confluence Research Challenges (Deadline: May 9th, 2012)
by Andreas Riener 19 Apr '12

19 Apr '12

Human-Computer Confluence Research Challenges May 14-15, 2012, Vienna, Austria MOTIVATION HCI research over three decades has shaped a wide spanning research area at the boundaries of computer science and behavioral science, with an impressive outreach to how humankind is experiencing information and communication technologies in literally every breath of an individuals life. The explosive growth of networks and communications, and at the same time radical miniaturization of ICT electronics have reversed the principles of human computer interaction. Up until now considered as the interaction concerns when humans approach ICT systems, more recent observations see systems approaching humans at the same time. Humans and ICT Systems apparently approach each other confluently. Human Computer Confluence has been mentioned to become a research priority in "Horizon 2020" (2013-2020), the funding programme of the European Commission that follows after the 7th Framework Programme (FP7, 2007-2013). HC2 VISIONS is a research agenda solicitation action (FP7 FET Project HC2) which may or may not be influential to the FET work programme discussion on new directions in human computer confluence. The HC2 VISIONS workshop invites key experts to pose initial research challenge statements articulated by the scientific community in a crowd sourced solicitation attempt. The goals of the workshop are to shape research challenge statements indicating (i) vision, (ii) research approach and (iii) expected impact of prospective research issues by world leading experts in the field. HC2 VISIONS is accompanied by a web-based white-book initiative at www.pervasive.jku.at/hccvisions. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION HC2 VISIONS is an open dialog and invites interested scientists, researchers as well as industrial stakeholders to participate and actively engage. If you want to present your idea in a 5 min position statement in the HC2 VISIONS dialogue sessions, please send an approx. 400 word summary to hc2visions(a)pervasive.jku.at by May 9, 2012. A PDF Call for Participation is available online at: http://www.pervasive.jku.at/hccvisions/HC2_Visions_CfP.pdf WORKSHOP LOCATION The workshop will be hosted by and is located at the head quarter of the Austrian Computer Society OCG. The objective of the Austrian Computer Society (OCG) is the comprehensive and interdisciplinary promotion of information processing, with due regard to its effects on man and society.

17 Apr '12

[our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | WORKSHOP "Methodical Approaches to Prove the Effects of Subliminal | | Perception in Ubiquitous Computing Environments" | | | | Pittsburg, PA, USA; September 8, 2012 | | colocated with UbiComp 2012 (http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2012) | | | | Workshop website: http://www.pervasive.jku.at/UbiComp12 | | Submission deadline (position papers): May 28, 2012 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------| WORKSHOP SUMMARY |-------------------------- There has been much debate around perception of subliminal cues, and their effect on human behavior, especially whether such an effect indeed exists or is only a false marketing myth (Vicary, 1957). As the preven- tion of additional cognitive workload in HCI is a topic of increasing importance, new forms or modalities of interaction between humans and interfaces need to be explored. One promising approach is to use subliminal stimulation or the injection of information below aware perception. To throw light on this issue, the workshop is centered on the questions how subliminal effects can be scientifically supported or how a certain claim could be empirically re- futed. Researchers are welcome to submit position papers by May 28th, 2012 via the electronic paper submission system available at the workshop website (http://www.pervasive.jku.at/Ubicomp12/). Papers must describe the app- roach and experimental setting used for testing subliminal interaction in HCI, as well as provide a discussion whether or not the effect could have been scientifically supported. More detailed information about aim, submission and review process, etc. is available at the workshop website (http://www.pervasive.jku.at/Ubicomp12/). ---------------------------| Workshop Themes |-------------------------- We are interested in receiving contributions & discussing topics at the workshop related to: * Philosophy, rationale for the use of subliminal interfaces in UbiComp environments * Ethical issues in application of subliminal perception and impact * Risk assessment in subliminal interfaces (from the view of the user or the system developer) * Qualitative/quantitative evaluation methodologies for the perception of subliminal information * Subliminally delivered information and relation to other constructs such as cognitive load, perceived performance, emotions, etc. * Characteristics of subliminally delivered information (e.g., reachable bandwidth, natural bounds, complexity of information, appropriate mo- dalities, speed of perception, strength/ duration/frequency) * Effectiveness of subliminal perception in UbiComp environments (such as context-aware adaptive interfaces, user-aware adaptive interfaces, personalized commercials,...) * Subliminal perception using different modalities (visual: flashing picture, video, text; auditory: compressed speech, music, non-speech sounds; haptic/tactile; olfactory, or others) * Issues with subliminal perception, such as social acceptance or pre- ference, privacy issues, security issues * Individual differences in threshold of subliminal perception (gender, age, (dis)abilities, cognitive style, cultural/ethnologic background) Please submit your position papers of up to 6 pages in SIGCHI archival format using the workshop paper submission system available at <http://www.pervasive.jku.at/Ubicomp12> SIGCHI templates can be downloaded at the the UbiComp 2012 template web- page at (http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2012/calls/templates.html).

Guoqiang Mao <guoqiang.mao(a)SYDNEY.EDU.AU> schrieb: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology Special Section: Graph Theory and Its Application in Vehicular Networking ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The last two decades have witnessed unprecedented growth in telecommunications, particularly in the area of wireless communications. This development in telecommunications opens doors to many sophisticated complex systems, e.g. social networks, smart grids, vehicular networks and sensor networks, that previously were not feasible. Graph theory is among the most widely used tools for modeling and analyzing the many types of interactions, relations and dynamics in these systems. Many problems of practical interest can be represented by graphs. The use of graph theory in vehicular networks, or more broadly highly dynamic networks, is of particular interest. The complex interactions among vehicles, between vehicles and road-side infrastructure, combined with the high mobility of vehicles and fast changing topology, present some unique challenges in network modeling and performance analysis, network design, resource management and communication protocol design. This special section aims to provide recent advances in graph theory that are applicable to highly dynamic networks, particularly vehicular networks, identify challenges in the area and present possible solutions, and furthermore to unveil the significant potential of graph theory in the domain of vehicular networks. Topics of interest for this special section include, but are not limited to: * Vehicular network modeling and performance analysis; * Network architecture design; * Vehicular technologies for vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure networking & services; * End-to-end service delivery architectures, algorithms, protocols and scalability; * Cooperative communications; * Quality of service; * Resource management; * Robust network and communication protocol design; * Interference characterization and management; * Localization techniques; * Road traffic management.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: JCSS SI on Wireless Net. Intrusion (Impact Factor: 1.631) Datum: Thu, 12 Apr 2012 19:22:16 +0800 Von: Sakib Pathan <sakib.pathan(a)gmail.com> An: tccc <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies, for multiple copies of the CFP]* Call for Papers * *Journal of Computer and System Sciences, Elsevier (Impact Factor: 1.631) Special Issue on Wireless Networks Intrusion *http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-computer-and-system-sciences/* * *Overview: * The security mechanisms for various wired networks are more or less well-defined. Especially when intrusion detection and prevention techniques are considered, wired networks appear to be in a much better status than their wireless counterparts. Indeed, security concerns are, still, a significant impediment to widespread adoption of wireless network technologies. Because of the use of wireless communications technology, structure of the wireless networks, limited resources available on wireless devices, and open nature of wireless communications, employing an effective and efficient intrusion detection and prevention system for detecting and thwarting malicious attacks against wireless communication still remains a great challenge to researchers. On the other side, recent increase in the interest in anywhere, anytime, anybody’s network with the aid of wireless self-organizing networks has made the demand of effective intrusion detection and prevention techniques even more critical. We consider four types of wireless networks under wireless self-organizing networks (SON) category: Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET), Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), Wireless Mesh Network (WMN), and Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET). The status quo of these networks lacks standardized mechanisms for intrusion detection and prevention. In particular for WSN, with limited resources of the involved tiny sensor nodes, employing such defensive and/or preventive mechanisms is, indeed, a tough challenge. If the system is distributed, the nodes may not be able to run the system; if centralized and controlled by the base station, the system may not serve the actual purpose of intrusion handling within the actual deployed network. We are interested, in this Special Issue, to put together the latest advancements in these related areas and to get the thoughts of the researchers, practitioners, and users of these technologies. The articles could be from the theory and/or practical perspectives. Extensive review articles on specific topics are most welcome. The articles are expected to touch up on any of the four types of SONs, namely MANET, WSN, WMN, and VANET. The targeted topics for this special issue are (though the list should not be considered exhaustive): - Intrusion detection schemes - Intrusion prevention schemes - Tracing back mobile attackers - Secure routing with intrusion prevention - Access control - Authentication mechanisms - Resource efficient intrusion detection & prevention - Anomaly detection - Specification based detection - Misuse detection - Intrusion detection vs Intrusion prevention - Artificial Intelligence (AI) based techniques - Game theory based techniques - Physical intrusion in WSN - Cross-layer based intrusion detection - Agent based intrusion surveillance, detection and prevention *Important Dates: * Manuscript due date: November 30, 2012 First round review notification: February 30, 2013 Revised paper due: April 30, 2013 Notification of acceptance/rejection: March 25, 2013 Submission of final manuscript: May 15, 2013 *Submission Guidelines and Review Process: * All papers should be submitted via email to the corresponding editor at sakib.pathan(a)gmail.com (with a CC to sakib(a)iium.edu.my).

These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce, yet prototypic implementations are getting more common, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms such as smartphones, which allow for extending dedicated sensor networks. Experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications - Innovative sensor network applications - Mobile and participatory sensing applications and deployments - Middleware support for sensor networks - Programming and debugging sensor networks - Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks - Experiences with new sensor hardware - Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization - Experiences with communication protocols - Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) - Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments - Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks - Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation - Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime - Configuration and installation support - Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices - Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field.
